Hi there,
The TRB5 is the ¨original¨, made in Japan, top quality instrument. They don¨t do them anymore, unfortunately (only the TRBII) I had one and I¨ll always regret selling it.... TRB1005, as well as TRB1004, are the ones they do now, less quality overally, made in Korea, with different woods (alder with maple top, rather than just maple as the TRB). The new ones are not so good, but as a second instrument they are allright. For what I have seen, and in my humble opinion, the difference could be considered as the difference between Fender U.S. Deluxe and Fender Standard MIM (I apologise if someone thinks this is not an appropiate comparation).
Cheers.
